Definitely spanish and from the "Reyes Católicos" period, maybe Fernando and Isabella. Seems to be a 1/2 real, weight should in this case be appr. 1,5 g. I'm sure, experts in this field will be able to tell you more and pinpoint mint and assayer.

I think so too. You see the. Oxen yoke of Ferdinand married to the spray of arrows of Isabella. On larger denomination coins both symbols appear conjoined on a single coin face, but with the "medio" being so small they appear on opposite faces. Within the design they would place mint mark and assayer privy marks such as "S" for Seville and in this case a five pointed star. This coin appears to have some flip over double strike issues. This is a coin from the time of Christopher Columbus. While they have been imitated in the 20th century in base metal I believe this example to be genuine.
